“Calder wanted to divorce. But I got him to agree to something crazy first.” My friend Lena's brows lift. “What is it?” “One last month,” I say. “I am going to really have him… as his real wife.” Her eyes widen and she grins. “He agreed to be your husband… in every way?” Three years ago, my husband Calder was supposed to marry my sister. On the wedding week, she vanished. So, I became the replacement bride. But Calder never saw me as a woman, just Yara’s little sister. We live like roommates while I pine for him. “Mia, you do know what you’re doing? Yes? I’m worried you’re going to get hurt,” Lena says plainly. “I’m not a child anymore, this is my choice.” She searches my face. “And after the month?” “I’ll move forward,” I say. “With or without him.”

After catching her boyfriend banging her coursemate, Luna ends up in a club with her friend, in a bid to forget it all. There, she meets this dashing guy who she jumps on without hesitation and requests for wild sex. It was supposed to be a one-night stand— one hell of a one-night stand that gave her shivers, but what she wasn't expecting was to meet him again. Not as the one who helped her brother secure a business deal and the one in whose house she would be spending the next thirty days. His name is Xander Storm— a dashing billionaire and one of the most eligible bachelors in Bayview. The shock goes both ways because the two of them relished the one-night stand and acknowledged that it felt more than one— but weren't expecting to see each other again. What will these thirty days be like? Will they pretend it never happened, or will they give in to the growing feelings that gnawed at their hearts? What will Xander's growing feelings for Luna mean for his revenge against the death of his parents, and for his enemies?

2년 동안 부강현의 아내로 살았다. 그 시간 동안 소윤슬에게 ‘사랑’은 없었다. 가사도우미처럼 묵묵히 살아가던 어느 날, 강현의 첫사랑 한신아가 돌아왔고, 둘의 계약 같은 결혼은 허무하게 끝나버렸다. “부강현, 사랑이라는 콩깍지가 벗겨진 너를... 내가 왜 다시 돌아봐야 하지?” 강현은 아무런 망설임 없이 이혼 서류에 사인했다. ‘소윤슬은 절대 날 잊지 못할 거야.’ 그렇게 믿었다. 하지만 이번엔 달랐다. 윤슬은 정말로 돌아보지 않았다. 시간이 흐르며 하나둘 드러난 진실들. 상처 위에 덧씌워졌던 오해가 걷히고 나서야, 강현은 모든 잘못이 결국 자신에게 있었음을 깨달았다. 그러나 후회도, 사과도, 눈물도 더 이상 윤슬의 마음을 되돌릴 수 없었다. 그리고 어느 날, 윤슬이 SNS에 올린 한 마디. “진심으로 날 사랑해 줄 사람을 찾습니다.” 그제야 강현은 미칠 듯한 질투와 집착 속에서 진짜 사랑이 무엇인지 깨달았다. 하지만 이번엔, 그 사랑을 붙잡을 자격조차 그에게 남아있지 않았다.

She was a package and he was the devil. And the devil always deliver.  Hired to deliver a package within a week, he was up to the task but he never expected unforeseen circumstances to delay his efficiency in his work. Vowed to live up to his reputation, he was ready to go through anything to see that he delivers but what would happen when he started getting close to the package? Or the fact that he started going beyond his belief wondering what would become of her when he let's her out of his sight? This was wrong, he is El Diablo, he has no heart, no emotion. He doesn't feel, he is not compassionate. What he does is accept jobs, deliver and gets paid and if you cross him? He doesn't hesitate to put a bullet straight to the head.  His name is feared all around, he is neat, he is never crossed, even his employers fear him. Parents tell his story to scare children and the ground shake at the very mention of his name. He is El Diablo and no one challenges him, no one except her that kept defying his orders.

Despite having been married for 25 years now, my wife, Sasha Fuller, and I have done it less than ten times. During our 25th wedding anniversary, however, Sasha, who has always claimed to be uninterested in intimacy, ends up doing it 30 times with a male escort at a clubhouse. The couch ends up completely drenched. This is when I realize just how wrong I've been all along. Even after her betrayal is exposed, Sasha adamantly refuses to admit to any wrongdoing. On the contrary, she starts condemning me. Hurt and upset, I proceed to spend three days arguing with her about it. Even my friends and relatives try to talk me down. "You two have been married for over 20 years now. She's even the CEO of Fuller Group. What's the big deal if she sleeps with a male escort? Don't end your marriage over something this trivial." "All these years, a live-in son-in-law like you only managed to establish yourself with the help of the Fuller family anyway. Don't be so ungrateful." With my heart in anguish, I look at Sasha and say, "Cut off all contact with him, and things between us can go back to the way they used to be." However, Sasha retrieves a pregnancy test report from her briefcase and silently takes off her wedding ring. "Colin, I'm already 45 years old. Even if you can't have children, you can't expect me to go my whole life without one as well, right?" She strokes her belly without the slightest trace of guilt in her eyes. "If you insist on making a big deal over this, then I have no choice but to divorce you." My hands, hidden by my sleeves, clench into fists briefly before falling lax again. "Let's get a divorce then." Not only am I going to get a divorce, but I'm going to give Sasha and her affair partner a big surprise.

En mi sexto mes de embarazo, mi hermana menor, Clara Soto, sufrió un accidente de tráfico. Debido a la pérdida de sangre, requirió con urgencia un donante compatible. Y, según los exámenes, yo era la única que podía salvarle la vida. Sin embargo, debido a que durante los últimos meses de embarazo había perdido peso, me recomendaron no donar. Aun así, mi familia me obligó. Por lo que, sin fuerzas para oponerme, esperé que mi esposo me ayudara a salir de esa situación. No obstante, se quedó a un lado con los brazos cruzados, diciendo: —Estás bien de salud. Donar sangre no te afectará en nada. Clara tendrá un futuro brillante, no voy a permitir que lo destruyas. Después de la donación, me desmayé. Y, cuando desperté, supe que algo dentro de mí se había roto. Por lo que, sin decir ni una palabra, lo primero que hice fue agendar un aborto.

Lucas Solís y yo éramos conocidos en la capital como la pareja más conflictiva. Él me despreciaba por considerarme una mujer sin escrúpulos que lo había obligado a casarse conmigo a toda costa. Yo lo odiaba porque cada noche le guardaba fidelidad a Claudia, mientras que a mí me trataba con una frialdad glacial. Durante ocho años de matrimonio, lo que más me decía fue que me fuera. Cuando llegó la inundación, Lucas, que siempre me había dirigido palabras crueles, me cedió el último lugar en el bote salvavidas. Me gritó: —¡No mires atrás, vete rápido! Elisa, ya no te debo nada. En la próxima vida, solo quiero estar con Claudia. Intenté salvarlo, pero me sujetaron con fuerza. Finalmente, solo pude ver cómo las aguas se lo tragaban. El equipo de rescate llegó tarde. Su cuerpo, ya hinchado y descompuesto por el agua, aún apretaba con fuerza el amuleto de Claudia, imposible de soltar. Más tarde, vendí todas mis propiedades para donarlas a la zona afectada y salté al vacío para seguirlo a la tumba. Al abrir los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en la noche en que drogaron a Lucas.
